Summary (from Goodreads):
Born-to-be-bland meets born-to-be-wild...
Annabelle Leahey is ready to be bad. Fed up with quilting bees and bridge clubs, Ann has to change or grow old alone. But going from bashful to bold won't be easy—especially since thong underwear is her idea of risqué. So Ann needs a guide, and rancher Mitchell Black is the perfect candidate.
The last thing Mitchell needs is more trouble. He hasn't lived down his bad boy days yet and he has no intention of resurrecting them now. But when Ann asks for his help, he can't refuse. Especially since the preacher's daughter has suddenly become a fireball of temptation.
Mitchell's determined to keep his role in Ann's research hands-off, but Ann has plans of her own. She intends to show Mitchell what's he's missing—and that being bad with the right person can be o-o-o-oh so good.

Review:
Let
me start by saying that I have known Julie Harrington for over a decade in some
way or another. I’ve read her work and was a fan, but before you think that
means I would give SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT a little leniency, you’re dead
wrong. Quite the opposite. Because I know what Harrington is capable of with
her writing, I held her to an even higher standard than I would another author.
And
she rose beautifully to the occasion.
Oh,
Ann. Poor, sweet Ann who wants desperately to shed her goodie-two-shoes image
and just be a bad girl for a little while. After losing her mother as a child
and then her father when she was barely an adult, she’s been thrust into the
role of caregiver for better part of a decade. Watching her wake up and take
control of her own life was exciting and amusing all at once. I loved watching
her with Mitchell from innocence to innuendo, these two thoroughly entertained
me.
The
only faults I could find with this book were that I wished the secondary
characters has been expanded more (but I shall forgive this fault if Harrington
gives Dillon and Justin their own books) and there wasn’t anything that shocked
me with this book. But it is a swoony, sweet read that I devoured in a day.
Harrington
has a gift when it comes to writing. From the bar room brawl in the beginning
that had me chuckling aloud to the oh-so-steamy moments later on that had me
reaching for some ice water, I was happily along for this journey. Definitely
not a book to be missed!
